Such as
Type BaseType
	Field whatever:Int
EndType

Type SomeType Extends BaseType

EndType

Function make_another(mytype:Object)
	Local a:BaseType=BaseType(New mytype)
	
	Assert a,"Not of BaseType"
	
	a.whatever=10
End Function


However you need to make sure all types that are passed inherit from BaseType, the Assert only tests in debug mode.
